Since I heard about the ability to transfer DSiWare, I've felt a little uncomfortable. It would be nice to transfer it all and have it accessible on my 3DS but there are a few reasons holding me back.

[*]The issue of the screen resolution difference[*]The fact that it practically means I'm declaring my DSi as obsolete

Yes, that's two reasons only but I feel pretty strongly about the second one.

For those of you who have already done the transfer, what made you go ahead with it?

Never did it because i prefer to keep all my consoles/handheld as a memory/antique or sometime turn them on and enjoy old games/memories. I still have my ps1, gb(the oldest yes), SNES, NES and a few more.
In short: Keep them on your DSi unless you intend to throw it away once it get really old

I don't need the clutter... I keep my old SNES because it's my favorite system, only reason there. The others have all had their time and I just give them away afterwards (keeping my favorite games if the next system is backwards compatible). My brother in law is 13 and comes from a poor family, so he doesn't get many video games so he makes a good target to give to.

As for the screen resolution difference, I honestly am not bothered by it, the blurring is less than ideal... but it's far from bad. It's just like playing games without my glasses on which I do all the time anyways

The blurring actually helps in certain games. Like castlevania series, the blurring gives it a 'cooler' effect

Well I gave in today. I transfered three of my DSiWare over and left EA Sudoku on my DSi, in case that would ever be used for DSi hacking again, which I doubt because DSi hacking is pretty much dead.

Tried to download the transfer tool last night and it bricked.

Nintendo Aus won't give me a quote either. I'm screwed.

    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd
